After several years, I made a new character for reasons that don't matter here.
The only thing I'm slightly annoyed by is the fact I have no access to the glams I already paid for. I feel like asking me to repay for things I already paid for because "it's another character" is some kind of bad excuse. Especially for outfits that cost 17.50€. I can understand story skips and marriages thingies to be character locked, but for outfits (and mounts) it should be account wide.
At worse, could we have some kind of discount for articles we already paid for. The historic of purschased is saved, so it should be possible. Paying something like 3.5€ (the price of cheaper glams) for something you already paid for once is something I would at least consider.
I have no idea how common it is for players to buy the same glams for several characters, so if you have any info on that, I'm curious.
[suggestion] Make the shop glams account wide.

08-25-2023, 09:37 AMSophiaDLThe idea is good, but you have whales paying for glams on multiple alts, so they really dont have a reason to do it really, they're making bank out of these peopleQuote:

I agree...but money. That's why I'll never do microtransactions.

No chance it will ever happen, sadly. It's absolutely my biggest peeve. But, FFXIV respects our time! Except, god forbid, you create an alt - unless you pay extra for only certain mounts, nothing in the store is account wide. You're achievements aren't account wide. So, sorry, you need to go through and rez another 500 times in Bozja, to use that favorite title on your other characters. Or, how about shared FATE system. Nah, too bad, you gotta do another 600+ FATEs to unlock. Hmmm very respectful of our time, yes.
Even if they wanted to say, keep it locked till you reached that story progression, let us use what we have unlocked/purchased across any alt on a service account. -

It's a great idea but it'll probably never happen. That's way too big of an opportunity to make money for Yoshi P and SE to pass up.

As nice as this would be for emotes, pets, mounts, and glams I doubt we will see it happen. They've even given themselves an out about there being a limit to how many account bound items they can code. Whether that is true or not, I do not know as I am not a developer.

No, the most annoying thing is that glamours are all seperated by gender and no way to exchange them (except the snow/lightning outfit). Started as a catboy, bought a mog glam (that is not the snow/lightning outfit) and then decided to play female characters? Enjoy buying all the stuff again!

08-25-2023, 01:02 PMIscahOne sign that it is perhaps true is that they seem to be cutting back on the account-wide-ness of things like the minions you get for purchasing merchandise.Quote:

There's stuff on the cash shop now that I no longer have access to, even though I did earn them at the time they were available.Quote:

Yeah. We kind of lose the ability to push for that change every time someone buys something in the Mogstation, though.
There's echoes of this further when you buy dye, a consumable you can obtain in game, that will earn more money once you have to double dye pieces of gear in DT.
How about this. Let's organize. If you want account wide Mogstation Purchases:
1. Don't purchase on the Mogstation until they change it
2. Post here that you won't, and on social media @ SE that you won't
3. Tell all your friends that you're doing it and invite them to stand with you.
Let's make a statement. -

Yup needs MTX Dresser like PoE does it, and even though everything else about the game seems pretty rough and not to my taste BDO blew my mind with the ability to purchase pieces of the outfit such as shoes or helmet separately. I don't need the whole outfit sometimes. It's weird because they literally have account wide online store mounts as well as vet reward costumes that all get mailed to any alts you create.

Yeah we should get it, but MMO gamers are so beaten down at this point that they'll happily get quadruple-fleeced by the subscription purchase, the expansion purchase, the cash shop purchase, and then the cash shop REpurchase for the alt.
And let's not forget account shared mounts, which get to be double the price "because they're account shared!" even though for most people this isn't a factor in their purchasing decision and of course there's no option to buy a cheaper one that isn't account-wide. Notice how we get account-wide content where it's inconvenient but not where it'd be helpful? All by design. You expect it in f2p games that need to do this sort of thing because there's no revenue coming in elsewhere, but it's sad to see it in a game that's b2p+sub imo. -

Never forget that Fantasia was for all characters (I think you ever created - even now) at the same price years ago!
-
08-28-2023, 07:43 PMIscahI don't think that was for purchased ones, just the veteran rewards and the Heavensward special edition?Quote:

08-28-2023, 08:30 PMAnastaysiaI went back, made an alt on a new server and everything cause I thought I was mistaken, but much like the Maid/Butler outfits we got from a campaign(do not remember the year, but it was/is stated as accountbound) that always shows up on newly made characters...Quote:
